Isn't this what folding@home is doing? It's more complex than something you'll find posted on a forum like this.

As far as I know, protein folding is an NP-Complete problem - that is, there is no algorithm for predicting the structure that runs in polynomial time. There's a lot of work going on in the field right now, but Momerath is right, this isn't really the place to look. Maybe look if you can find a forum more focused on biological computing, chemical processes, something like that. They'd probably be much more help.
